NATIONAL INTEGRITY FRAMEWORK
Sport brings people together, transcending differences in language, ability, culture, and beliefs, and provides physical, social, and economic benefits.
Threats to croquet’s integrity can include competition-manipulation, doping and behaviours that impact people’s positive experience of croquet, such as discrimination or abuse.
Integrity in croquet means that all players, officials and supporters can participate in croquet, confident in the knowledge that they are part of a safe, ethical, and inclusive environment. Croquet Australia also supports the rights of children. They have the right to take part in sport in a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment, where they are respected and valued.
STAYING SAFE. YOUR SAFETY IS OUR FIRST CONCERN
